-
Description
A rare and spectacular collection comprising six meticulously restored and newly caned armchairs, identified as the "Campanino" model, crafted by Guido Chiappe in Chiavari, Italy, in the 1950s.
Constructed from high-quality beechwood, these armchairs boast a timeless design, with seats handwoven using the ancient Chiavari technique. With precise measurements of 49 cm in width, 50 cm in depth, and a height of 87 cm, they offer a harmonious balance between elegance and practicality. The seat height of 40.5 cm ensures optimal comfort for those seated.
Meticulously restored with hand-polished frames and newly rewoven seats, these armchairs are in excellent vintage condition, ready for use.
The Campanino chair holds significant historical importance in Chiavari's renowned furniture production. Originally conceived in 1807 by Giuseppe Gaetano Descalzi at the specific request of Marquess Stefano Rivarola, this model quickly gained popularity for its contemporary and lightweight structure. The timeless design of the Campanino chair influenced the esteemed designer Gio Ponti, who drew inspiration for two of his renowned masterpieces: the Leggera chair in the early 1950s and the Superleggera chair in 1958.
